The phrase "het komt zelden voor dat" comes from Dutch, where 'het' means 'it,' 'komt' is the third person singular of 'komen' meaning 'comes,' 'zelden' means 'rarely,' and 'voor' in this context means 'occurs.' Together, they form an expression that literally translates to 'it comes rarely that.' Did you know? Such expressions are common in Dutch to describe the frequency of an event.
