Learn Hardcore Russian: Я вижу красивый узор на стене.

Вижу is the first-person singular present tense form of the verb видеть, meaning "to see." It indicates that the subject Я (I) is performing the action. Since видеть is an imperfective verb, it describes an ongoing or habitual action rather than a completed one.

How do adjectives like красивый agree with the noun узор in Russian?

In Russian, adjectives must agree with their nouns in gender, number, and case. Here, узор is a masculine singular noun functioning as the direct object in the accusative case. For inanimate masculine nouns, the accusative form often looks identical to the nominative. Therefore, красивый appears in its masculine singular form to match узор.

Why does the noun узор not show any change in form even though it is the object of the verb?

Although узор is the direct object and thus in the accusative case, many inanimate masculine nouns have the same form in both the nominative and accusative cases. This is why узор remains unchanged in appearance when it functions as the object of the verb вижу.
