Nenia is an adjective, so it agrees with its noun (neniaj, nenian). Neniom is followed by da before the thing: neniom da kafo. Nenies is usually used for people and replaces la.
Neniel often replaces ne to add force, as in Mi neniel povas (I cannot at all). Nenial is very rare, so you only need to recognize it. It never means without a reason.
