Benny,
How are 常常, 平常, & 经常 different from each other? They’re extremely similar right? But used in different situations?

Also,
what’s best used for “seldomly/rarely”?

Hi Kevin,

They are very similar to each other. Just “平常= during the leisure time/ spare time”

Seldom = hěn shǎo 很少

Rarely = óu ěr 偶尔
