There is nothing wrong with what you said originally. You said "syntax 
MAY be" -- that's obvious to those who know English that you are talking 
about a hypothetical keyword.

Admittedly non-English speakers may not pick up on the nuances of 
English, but that's not your fault. 

Your English is very good, better than some native English speakers. What 
is your native language?
