Perhaps:

They have declared a nationwide partial curfew in Kuwait.

Now you have a sentence. (Since I'm happy with that one, why should I keep looking?)
 
Neither phrase is a sentence. Number one would be an acceptable headline.
 
I made few changes.

In sentence one, Is nationwide an adjective or a noun?

I think the only noun is curfew.

Who can help me about the part of speech of the words?

What is the difference between the two sentences?

1-Kuwait imposed a nationwide partial curfew.

2-Kuwait imposed a partial nationwide curfew.

1) nationwide is an adjective.
2) curfew is a noun and partial is an adjective.
3) 1 is correct. nationwide goes before partial.
 
nationwide - across the entire country

You know and I know that the word "partial" is meaningless here.

Kuwait ' subject
declares - verb
s nationwide curfew - predicate
 
I made a few changes.

In sentence [STRIKE]one[/STRIKE] 1, is "nationwide" an adjective or a noun? I think the only noun is "curfew".

Who can help me [STRIKE]about[/STRIKE] with the parts of speech [STRIKE]of the words[/STRIKE] in those sentences?

What is the difference between these two sentences?

1. Kuwait imposed a nationwide partial curfew.
2. Kuwait imposed a partial nationwide curfew.

Please note my corrections above.
 
Are you sure it's not 6 pm till 6 am?
 
What do you mean by a partial curfew? A partial curfew sounds more like restrictions of movement to me.
 
I agree. A partial curfew doesn't make any sense. If people are allowed out at some times and not at others, then there is just a curfew. If people weren't allowed out at all, there would be what now seems to be referred to as a lockdown.
