Here is how Chakra seems to be able to transfer in the series

Chakra assimilation: Taking someones chakra and making it your own. It holds no qualities/abilities of the contributor. Requires physical contact.
 * Yoroi, Katsuyu, Sakura, Tsunade(?), Karin, Kurama did this with Kakashi, 6PSM Naruto did this with Guy and Obito(?) have done something like this

Chakra mixing: Taking someones chakra and and it becomes one with your own, creating a slightly varied chakra signature along with retaining abilities from the contributor. Usually obtained through genetic implantation
 * Orochimaru, Madara, Sasuke, Kabuto have done this.

Chakra borrowing: Taking chakra and retaining the contributors abilities, but is limited and needs to be refueled. Once gone, the contributors abilities disappear. requires physical contact.
 * Obito, Juugo, Tailed Beasts actually do this with their hosts,
 * Tailed Beasts have a variant that i call "wifi chakra" where-in Tailed Beasts can transfer more chakra so long as there is some already there after the initial physical contact.
 * Kurama/Naruto did this with the army

I believe Naruto borrowed the other 8 Beasts chakra and ran out before he could get some more wifi-ed to him. As evidenced by The Last/Gaiden and his exclusive use of Kurama Mode.

Jinchuriki also seems to have a number of meanings. 1. Someone who has a Tailed Beast sealed inside of them physically

2. Someone who controls a tailed beast power

3. Their care taker. Someone who has befriended the tailed beast and can work with them

Sasuke referenced Naruto as definition 2, while Hagoromo referenced him as definition 3 and possibly definition 2.
