first of all-this sentence is incomplete
Meanwhile, I ... (where some verb would go here and a third person would go here) that I talked to you last night.
It would be like "Meanwhile, I told a friend of mine that I talked to you last night" or "I (thought about what) I talked to you last night.." etc
If you find the next portion of this sentence you can probably make sense out of it.
Word by word:
Bu arada: meanwhile
dun sabah: yesterday morning
seninle: with you
konustugumu: that I spoke with you (or talked to you)

: you said it yourself under the w.by.w title, but "last night"s above need to correct as "yesterday morning"

: Meanwhile? No, only while. Think of it in accordance with previous question.

while means - iken; bu arada means: meantime, incidentally, meanwhile, by the way, among other things and in the meantime. I don't remember the previous question. See the sources please. Thanks for your input :)
