Usage Note
Raramente means seldom or rarely and is an adverb formed from raro + -mente. In practice pocas veces or casi nunca are more natural in spoken Spanish, while raramente leans formal or written. Do not confuse raro (rare/strange) with English 'rare' meaning undercooked — that is poco hecho.
Examples
"Raramente nieva en esta ciudad."
Natural Translation
It rarely snows in this city.
