⚠️ The trap
'Momento' is a point in time. Italian physics uses 'momento' for angular momentum, but in everyday speech it never means forward drive or impetus.
To say "impetus, forward force" in Italian:
slancio / impulso (for momentum)
"momento" in English means:
moment, instant
Example
"Aspetta un momento."
"Wait a moment."
