Both the dashes and the colons are read as "pi'e", the date is preceded with
"de'i", and the time is preceded with "ti'u":
de'i li renopaci pi'e novo pi'e noci ti'u li noci pi'e cino pi'e mubi pi mu
You can also say "ca li" followed by both date and time joined with "pi'e":
ca li renopaci pi'e novo pi'e noci pi'e noci pi'e cino pi'e mubi pi mu
You could put "ty" instead of "pi'e" in the middle, as ISO 8601 calls for it,
but then "03T03" appears to be one component, which it isn't.

There are other ways of stating a date and a time, such as "lo cimoi be lo
prilio be lo renopacimoi nanca" and "li bi pe le nicte". But 12-hour time
isn't used much in Lojbanistan.

{ca li PA} doesn't work under certain models because numbers are not events. {ca zo'e ne li PA} works fine, but at that point, resorting to de'i + ti'u is fine.
