It's funny that "kysely" is a Finnish word (the author is a finn) meaning questionnair, pronounced more like kew-seh-lew, but the pronounciation instructions make it sound like "kiisseli" which is like a fruit-soup-dessert thing (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissel).

I remember it faintly from Finnishing the Finnish course on duolingo. I made it half-way through legendary, but I think I forgot most of it. Also it's unlikely to get more advanced content since it was a community contribution and Duolingo now switched to paid contributors only.

A more relevant meaning is probably a query as in SQL-kysely means an SQL query. Feel bad for Finnish students though trying to google something about SQL queries now in Finnish as most results seem to be about this project.
