Augenblick can mean ‘blink of an eye’, yes?
Hmmm, no, I think that’ll be misleading more often that it helps.
“a moment” is a better match.
– Einen Augenblick bitte.
– Just a moment please.
– In diesem Augenblick wusste ich, was Maria meint.
– At that moment, I knew what Maria meant.
“blink of an eye” to me sounds like it’s about something being super quick. That’s not really the core of “Augenblick”.
thank you sir
