Here's a breakdown:
* "Naka" means "based on" or "rooted in"
* "Batas" means "experience" or "observation"
Other possible translations depending on context:
* "Pampamahiin" - This translates to "empirical" in the sense of being based on superstition or folk belief.
* "Pang-agham" - This translates to "empirical" in the sense of being based on scientific observation and experimentation.
The best translation will depend on the specific context of how "empirical" is being used.
