Is this phrase missing something?


I was reading a lesson in Japanese and they translated this phrase like this:

> 枝豆、いつできるかなあ。
>
> = Edamame, itsu dekiru kanaa.
>
> I wonder when I can harvest Edamame.

kanaa = I wonder  
dekiru = be able to  
itsu = when

Where is the "harvest" here?




This できる is a simple intransitive verb that means "to form", "to be
made/completed/ready". Thus 「枝豆、いつできるかなあ。」 literally means "I wonder when
edamade will be ready."

There is no word that corresponds to "harvest" here. Edamame is both the name
of the beans and the name of a dish. Depending on the context, this sentence
can mean both "I wonder when edamame (beans) will be ready (for harvesting)."
and "I wonder when edamame (dish) will be ready (for eating)."
