Leaven means to cause to rise or grow lighter, or to mix in something that transforms or enlivens. Just as bread dough rises when leavened, something can be leavened to make a situation lighter.
Leudar significa hacer que algo suba o crezca más ligero, o mezclar algo que transforma o anima. Al igual que la masa de pan aumenta al levarla, también puede levarse algo que alegra una situación.
