[Csika]

Dear Friends,

I wonder which of the two sentences are correct:

1. I don't have an expectation in order for my remark could convey irony.

2. I don't have an expectation in order for my remark to convey irony.

Meaning: I don't expect that my remark ...

Thank you.

Neither of your sentences is correct. It is not very clear what you want to say.

For example, suppose that you are a dancing-master. You expect one of your students to dance well. When you are dancing with her she is clumsy (stepping on your feet all the time). Then you say ironically:

You are really a good dancer.

Irony, however, does not always presuppose any expectation on the part of the speaker.
