can we use "some" "few" or "the" instead of any in this example :
hardly any plants can live in the icy mountains. |

could you please give me the reason. Is it because after hardly we should always use any? Thanks. |

Hardly has sort of a negative meaning (=almost not at all); Generally it is used before any, anyone, anybody, anything , anywhere and ever ; E.g. There were hardly any people in the street (= There were almost no people)
