Usage
What does momento mean? A momento is a reminder of something, especially a past event or time. It most often refers to a keepsake or a souvenir. Momento is an alternate spelling of memento. It is sometimes considered a misspelling, but it is commonly used enough to be considered a variant. A momento can also refer to a warning. It is sometimes seen in the Latin phrase memento mori, but in this case it should be spelled memento, since it uses the Latin spelling. Example: These traditional masks are momentos of our trip to Guatemala.
