lasting for a very short time

Happening or existing for a very short time only.

उपयोग पैटर्न: a momentary [noun]
आम गलती:
Learners sometimes confuse "momentary" with "momentous". "Momentary" means lasting for a very short time, while "momentous" means very important or significant. For example, "a momentary problem" is a short, brief problem, but "a momentous decision" is a very important decision.

समानार्थी शब्द
non-latching (Technical term emphasizing that the switch does not stay in the on position after being pressed.) | spring-loaded (Describes a similar mechanism that returns to its original position, though not all spring-loaded switches are strictly momentary.)
