None of these are natural except in a case where people are arguing about whether it's easy.
A: It was easy.
B: Well, it was "somewhat easy" (harder than you imply)
A: No, it was NOT somewhat easy. It was the easiest thing ever.
or
A: How was the exam.
B: Hmm. Well, I found it somewhat easy.
C: It was NOT somewhat easy. It was super difficult.

A: Kin you read this to me?
B: Hmm, it is summat not easy, but I think I can.
A: You kin read. This should be easy for you.
B: It is not summat easy, but I think I can do it.
B: I thought I could read it, but it
A: Kin you read this to me?
B: Hmm, it is summat not easy, but I think I can.
A: You kin read. This should be easy for you.
B: It is not summat easy, but I think I can do it.
