latin for 'seize the momemt'

Since you've also asked for 'seize the day' carpe diem won't cut it.
Carpe minutam = seize the minute. That's about the smallest time division the Romans had.
Carpe momentum does mean 'seize the moment' , but it's not the right kind of moment. Moment/momentum is the word for the physics term dealing with weight and motion - momentum as used in English.
With all that, 'carpe diem' has come to mean 'seize the moment' anyway.

Well, danili's right in the sense that "carpe diem" is the phrase you'd use. As it's been said, it means "sieze the day".
However, if you want to know the Latin for "sieze the moment", it's "carpe momentum".
In VERY old Latin, it would have been "carpe movimentum".

"carpe momentos"... maybe...
Seize the day is "carpe diem"
and I'm not going to tell you what "Carpe anos" means...
