English term or phrase: diverse
Meaning composed of many cultures, ethnic groups, etc. as in "Malaysia is a **diverse** country."

Naitanong na ito noon dito sa KudoZ, pero wala pa akong nakitang sagot na captured ang ganitong sense.

Thanks in advance.

binubuo ng iba't ibang kultura, grupong etniko, atbp.
Explanation:
In this instance, you don't need to follow the sentence pattern as it would lead to different meaning, or it would make the line ungrammatical.
So, I believe you need to paraphrase it.

Hi Dencruise,
The best thing siguro rito is to look for synonyms of 'diverse', and go from there. But by now, I'm pretty sure na nagawan mo na ito ng paraan. Regards.

Asker: Hilda, madaling gamitin ang sagot mo sa example sentence ko ukol sa Malaysia. Ang nahihirapan ako ay kung paano ang gagawin sa ganitong formulation: "Xxxxx is one of the ***most diverse*** countries in the world." What do you think?

Explanation:
Hi, dencruise,
A little paraphrasing comes in handy:
Malaysia is one of the most diverse... = Malaysia is one of the countries with the most variety of cultures....
Hope this helps! Cheers!
