His pronunciation of tardi sounds like darti. Quite often his pronunciation is not clear. Not the same problem with the female voice.
"late" is an adverb in English (in addition to it's adjective meaning) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/late#Adverb
"lately" is a different adverb meaning "recently; not long ago"
Yes "in ritardo" means "not on time " or "in delay " which are other ways to say "late " or "tardo/a/i/e". Neither are verbs, but "tardi" is an adverb and "in ritardo" is an adverbial prepositional phrase. "il ritardo" is a noun which can mean "delay" or "lateness". ("ritardata" is an adjective to describe a noun as "late") http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-italian/late http://dictionary.reverso.net/italian-english/ritardo
