barely

we hardly knew them

had scarcely rung the bell when the door flew open

{'source': 'W.B.Yeats', 'text': 'would have scarce arrived before she would have found some excuse to leave'}

I only just caught the bus

he finished the marathon in just under 3 hours

it was barely 5 a.m.

the network has barely 5 percent of viewers

the batter just missed being hit

he hardly ever goes fishing

he was scarce sixteen years old

they scarcely ever used the emergency generator

I can hardly hear what she is saying

she barely seemed to notice him
