Questions & Answers about Wij kiezen de optie met de meeste punten.
Why is it meeste and not just meest?
Meest is the superlative (the highest degree) of the irregular word veel (much/many). It gets an extra -e here to become meeste because it is acting as an adjective placed directly in front of the noun punten.
What are the other comparison forms of this irregular word?
The base word is veel (much/many). If you want to say more, you use meer, and for most, you use meest.
Is the verb kiezen regular?
It is an irregular verb in the past tense, but in this present tense sentence it looks totally normal. Because the subject is the plural wij (we), you simply use the full dictionary form of the verb.
Could I use a verb like hebben (to have) instead of met (with)?
You could rephrase the sentence as de optie die de meeste punten heeft (the option that has the most points), but using the preposition met (with) is much simpler and perfectly natural in Dutch, just like in English.
