Caveat: 제 버릇 개 줄까

This is an aphorism from my aphorism book.

제            버릇      개   줄까
je            beo·reut gae  jul·kka
one[a person] habit    dog  give-INTERROG

[One] gives one’s habits to a dog.

The meaning is that it is difficult to give up old habits – about as difficult as giving one’s habits away to one’s dog.

Google translate’s version was: “Do you want my spoiled dog.” This is funny.
