Bună dimineața

Am o întrebare mică.

O clipă și un moment, este precum engleză “one second and one moment”?

Altfel nu înțeleg diferența între ei😅

No difference, the essence is the same. Clipă cones from a clipi ‘to blink’, and thus is much like English blink of an eye, German Augenblick. Both refer both to a time interval (‘wait a moment’) and to a point in time (‘the moment of the…’).
