ögonblicken
Ögonblicken is a Swedish noun meaning a brief period of time, typically translated as “the moment” or “the moments” in context. It is the definite form of the word ögonblick, which comes from a compound of öga (eye) and blick (glance), reflecting the sense of a fleeting instant or a single look. In ordinary usage, ett ögonblick refers to a moment in time, and phrases like i ett ögonblick mean “in a moment” or “in an instant.”
The definite form ögonblicken is used when the moment or moments are specified or known from context.
In cross-linguistic terms, ögonblick is cognate with the German Augenblick, which shares the same literal root
