To Grant
To Fulfill
transitive verb, ichidan verb
The kanji means "come true" or grant, and this is the transitive verb version of that, making this to grant or to fulfill.
叶える refers to making something desired come true, either for oneself or someone else. It's usually used in the context of fulfilling wishes, dreams, or goals, but it can also be used for granting someone's request in more formal contexts.
