der Augenblick (-e) moment
Einen Augenblick, bitte.
Just a moment, please.
Note: "Augenblick" won 4th place in a German contest for the most beautiful German word. It was submitted by Swiss contestant Sabine Brenner. She chose the word because in a clever way "it is too long for what it means and sounds so much more sensual than "Moment." This week we introduce the top five winners, with the number-one word on Friday. Over 22,000 entries were received from 111 countries for the schönstes deutsches Wort contest.
