Clarita's accent


Ok, not so good with Mexican accents here, but is Clarita supposed to have some sort of accent. She sounds a little strange, how she talks to Gaviota in the "usted" form, and Gaviota calls her Clarita instead of mom. I thought maybe this was supposed to convey a regional dialect or something of the sort.

I do not know about the accent but the usted is a from of respect, it is used among old people, or when a young person talks to an older person. In some families it is common do talk among each other like that. But the majority of the families don't do it anymore.

her accent and the way that she talks is supposed to show that she is an uneducated peasant woman from Jalisco. also her character is more traditional and old-fashioned which is why she uses "usted".

to me it sounded like colombian accent, mostly for the phrase "Como así!!!"

I always LOL'ed when she was in London and said: "yes yes yes"
