I was briefing the over-wing window exit as the C Flight Attendant with my safety information card in hand. When I asked the gentleman in the two-seater if he was willing and able to sit in the exit row and ask for a verbal confirmation he asked for water.I told him no sir I was asking him if he was willing and able to sit in the exit row he said yeah. He said do you want me to move? I said no you're fine I just wanna make sure that you're aware that you're in the exit row. And that was it.I don't know if you could not hear me because of the mask. Or I was speaking too fast. Or not clearly enough for him. I will need to work on that.
Flight Attendant reported that communication with a passenger regarding exit row seating may have been misheard due to speaking through a face mask.
