2. to liven up; to brighten up
   Muzika je oživila žurku. — The music livened up the party.

3. (of a tradition, economy) to revive; to revitalize

Don't confuse with intransitive oživeti 'to come to life'; in practice oživeti is also widely used transitively (oživeti žurku). The imperfective is oživljavati.
