Hardly = almost not.
Hard = tough enough to get something.
Hardly, barely are one and the same.

@raj and @sonu
Yes its correct that "citizen" is a neutral gender but "his" is used when we say something in general. and "its" is never used in case of human beings. "its" is used for animals like.... This is a cat. It's colour is brown. Got it?

1. Only a very short time before (eg. we hardly knew them)
2. Almost not (eg. he hardly ever goes fishing; he was hardly more than sixteen years old)
Hard (Adjective)
1. Not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure (eg. why is it so hard for you to keep a secret?)
