That’s the neat part. You don’t. Call an electrician
Blue is neutral, yellow-green is ground, the two brown wires are probably connected to a double switch, so you can switch parts of the lamp separately.
Usually, your lamp will have cables with the same colour codes that you can just connect to their counterparts.
Most modern lamps don’t need grounding, and most likely there is only one “hot” connector, so the extra ones can stay unconnected.
Edit: make sure to move the right brown wire all the way into the connector, so that there are no exposed metal parts.
And of course disconnect the circuit breaker *and* double-check with a current tester, before touching anything here.
Blue is neutral ,green yellow ground, rest are live wires. Good luck Don’t touch the bare copper
This is trickier that usual because there more than 3 wires. Propably means you have 2 switches on the wall that can be used to turn on part of the lights in a multi light fixture.
Short answer is if you don’t know don’t do, contact a landlord so they can install a socket or an electrician if it’s your own place.
Blue is neutral, must be connected.
Brown is first lamp phase set, black is second lamp phase set.
Yellow/green is safety ground, not needed for usual lamps.
Plug into blue+brown. You can also plug into blue+black.
Ok so the others have told you about the colour codes. Great. Now the white plastic part is just there so you can easily connect wires to each other. The way it works is there are holes on both sides. Putting a wire in each side connects them. The screws are there to keep the wires in place. So this is a step by step on how to install a lamp.
1. Turn off the breaker switch for your lights. Somewhere in your apartment or house there will be a little electronics box with big switches. One of those switches will control the lights of the room you are talking about. Turn that switch off. This means there is no electricity on the wires anymore and it is safe for you to proceed.
2. Make sure the wires on the lamp have their metal bit exposed, cut away some of the plastic on the wire if necessary
3. Unscrewing the screw on the white plastic bit to make some place for the lamps wire
4. Put the wire in, and hold it there
5. Screw tightly so that the wire stays in there
6. Repeat for all the different colour wires. It is possible your lamp has less wires than the connection, thats ok.
7. Turn on the breaker again
8. Test the light
9. Maybe mess with the cable and hang it on the metal hook in the middle so it looks nicer
