If someone says "hardly ever" to you, do you think it means close to never or more often than that?
Your input is appreciated. Thanks.

It means it is closer to "never" than "more often". But, It could mean "sometimes" though depending on the person. I've heard people say "hardly ever" and they do it "sometimes". e.g. when a person refers to a vice.

Not often, but still possible. For instance. I hardly ever drink, but I may have one on special occasions.

Almost never. Like 3 in a hundred, if that.

It is the exception not the rule. So You are right, close to never.

I disagree. I think it is ironic, an invitation (Kumiko, lots of your questions are deleted--try more careful wording.)

To me it means like "nearly never".
