May I say "at this moment" instead of "at the moment"?

Thanks.

Thanks.

At this moment = en este momento

At the moment = por el momento

That's my understanding.

Estoy de acuerdo con chileno.

irmamar · #4 May 12, 2010, 12:38 PM

So, I could say "at this moment" for "actualmente", couldn't I?

Context?

Right, so, with no more context, you can certainly say "actualmente" for
"at this moment".

Yes, or even right now.

Actualmente este hotel está lleno de turistas, pero el mes que viene no habrá casi nadie aquí.

The book said "at the moment this hotel is full...", I said "at this moment".

A ver. ¿Cómo usarías tú esta frases y por qué?

Por el momento el hotel está lleno.

En este momento el hotel está lleno.

I'd say "en este momento", but both are correct.
