Hello friends,
I have constructed a sentence using –ebil/-abil Can you pls tell me if its constructed properly or not?
If only you can talk to me at least for 5 minutes continuously...
keşke bana konuşebilirsin durmadan en az beş dakika...
It may sound horrible but pls help I am just a novice!
Thanx & Regards

If only you can talk to me for 5 minutes continuously.
Keşke bana 5 dakika durmadan konuşabilsen.
If you can talk to me for 5 minutes continuously.
Bana 5 dakika durmadan konuşabilirsen.
if you add "en az" (at least):
If only you can talk to me for at least 5 minutes continuously.
Keşke bana en az 5 dakika durmadan konuşabilsen.
If you can talk to me for at least 5 minutes continuously.
Bana en az 5 dakika durmadan konuşabilirsen.

Yes vowel harmony was wrong. Check the previous syllable for -abil/-ebil suffix.
konuşabil (after a,ı,o,u, it should be -abil)
görüşebil (after e,i,ö,ü, it should be -ebil)

-ebil and -abil suffixes mean "to be able to" or "can".
I can come - gelebilirim

Goes like this,
Verb root + (y) buffer + (a)or (e) + (bil) + Zaman eki + kişi eki
Zaman eki,is the tens,kişi eki is the personal pronouns
And in negative case,
We drop (bil) and use only (a) or (e)
Verb root + (y) + (a) or (e) + (ma),(me)+zaman eki +kişi eki .
Gelebilecek.... he will be able to come.
Gelemeyecek.....He won't be able to come.
And so on with other tenses too.
