Sometimes, yes, but in a more formal setting. Usually the phrase that would be used would be "not often". "He seldom goes out." = "He doesn't go out very often." The first one would be in a formal setting. The second would reflect normal spoken English.

I seldom use "seldom", but I often use "often". ;)

no i am not using that words. cowboy...

Hello Nika, As fdmaxey says it is used more often in written forms or formal ones. Other words for 'seldom' in practical spoken English are: ' not often' , ' rarely' , 'once in a blue moon' etc....

why not?it's a good sounding word,I like it a big time!
