Questions & Answers about چنین داستانی کاملاً تخیلی است.
Why isn't there an Ezafe connecting chenin to dâstâni?
Because chenin (such / this kind of) acts as a demonstrative adjective here. Just like the basic demonstratives in (this) and ân (that), it is placed directly in front of the noun it modifies without needing an Ezafe.
Where does the "a" in "such a story" come from in the Farsi sentence?
It comes from the indefinite -i suffix attached to the end of dâstân (story), making it dâstâni. To say "such a [noun]" in Farsi, you place chenin before the noun and attach this indefinite -i to the noun itself.
Can I use chenân instead of chenin in this sentence?
Yes, but the nuance shifts slightly. chenin is related to in (this), so it leans towards "this kind of story" (perhaps one just mentioned). chenân is related to ân (that), meaning "that kind of story". However, when translating simply to "such a story", both are often used interchangeably.
What is the grammatical function of the spelling at the end of kâmelan (کاملاً)?
