hi, I'd like to verify the correct translation of "in the moment" in to Latin. My best guess is "in tempore"
Can anyone verify?
Thanks in advance.

momento temporis


Explanation:
This may mean either 'in the moment' or 'in a moment', Latin lacking both the definite and indefinite articles. 'In tempore' means simply 'in [an unspecified period of] time', and the 'in' is not used except for emphasis (ablative of time when or within which).

agree  janice parker: or possibly 'in momento'? (Vulgate I Cor 15.52 has 'in momento, in ictu temporis..'but it's not classical, of course, and the problem of the lack of articles remains.

  -> No, it's not classical. But the asker didn't specify what type of Latinity she preferred. So I think that it's another possibility.
