tchAsa - hours /tchasA -o'clock

In written documents we do not put stress on the words - they just goe like that and the context make them implicit.

At 2 o'clock - v dva chasA - we will meet at 2 o'clock
2 hours - dva chAsa - we have 2 hours to prepare the presentation
Example sentence:

At 2 o'clock - v dva chasA - we will meet at 2 o'clock

2 hours - dva chAsa - we have 2 hours to prepare the presentation
